Ross Browne on the Mineral Resources of the States and Territories West of the Rocky Mountains The bullion product of Washington is estimated by the surveyor general at That of Oregon is rated as high as Intelligent resi dents of Idaho and Montana represent that the figures givbn in the above esti mate, so far as these Territories are concerned, are entirely too low, and might be doubled without exceeding the truth. The product of Idaho alone for this year is said to be from to That of Montana is esti mated by the surveyor general at Similar exceptions are taken to the estimates of Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona. As I have no grounds for accepting these statements beyond the assertion that most of the bullion is carried away in the pockets of the miners, I am inclined to rely upon the returns of the assessors, express companies, and official tables of export. Admitting that a fraction over seven per cent. May have escaped notice, although reason able allowance is made for this in the estimate of and that a con siderabl'e sum may be derived from sources not enumerated, I feel confident the additional allowance of is sufficient to cover the entire bullion pro duct of the United States for the year 1867, thus making the aggregate from all sources as stated in the report of the Secretary of the Treasury.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of J. Ross Browne: On the Mineral Resource of the States and Territories West of the Rocky Mountains A fruitful source of error is in supposing that the ordinary channels of trans portation cannot be relied upon as a clue to the gross product of the mines. It is alleged that large quantities of the precious metals are carried away in the pockets of the miners. Even if this were so, it is not reasonable to suppose that the miners continue to burden themselves with their treasure after arriving at their place of destination. It must find its way into the mint 011 branch mints for coinage or the custom-house manifests for exportation. It cannot be assayed without paying its internal revenue tax. The gross yield of all the mines can be determined with approximate accuracy. It is more difficult to arrive at a subdivision, when it comes to the product of each State and Territory. In California, for example, during the early days of placer mining, before the trans portation of bullion by organized companies had become a business entitled to confidence, a large proportion of the gold derived from the mines was carried out of the country by private hands. There was comparatively little danger of loss. The routes to San Francisco were short, public, and protected by general interest. From that point to New York the passengers usually combined for mutual protection, and the risk was inconsiderable. It was not until the idle and the prof ]igate began to obtain an aseerrdency, the business of transportation by express more firmly established, and the mines more difficult to work with profit, that the increase of risks and reduction of charges resulted in the general aban donment of this system. It doubtless prevails to a limited extent now, but the transportation of bullion by private hands in California is exceptional. It probably does not exceed seven per cent. In the aggregate, and this applies only to the routes by which it reaches San Francisco. In reference to silver it is impossible that any considerable amount can escape notice in this way. The yield of Nevada can be determined with more accuracy than that of other States. Silver predominates in the mines; and where gold is obtained it is not in an uncombined form. When we come to Montana, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon the greatest difficulty is experienced. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: J Ross Browne called himself a Californian. This Irish born American writer and artist was a world traveler who was at one point minister to China. But it was California that he called home. When he removed to California in 1849 it was the start of the Gold Rush. He followed the Silver Boom across the Sierras (which he reported on in A Peep at Washoe and Washoe Revisited). He toured Arizona and reported his adventures to the world (Apache Country: A Tour of Arizona 1864), spent several years exploring Europe (The European Reporting of J. Ross Browne.) But it was California that he called his home. California Adventures covers his adopted home state. In A Dangerous Journey Browne Travels across California from San Francisco to Obispo through a country full of outlaws, nearly losing his life along the way. In The Coast Rangers he details the adventures of an Association of Gentlemen as they hunt, camp and take nourishment while enjoying the out of doors in mid nineteenth century California. In Exploring Lower California Browne looks at the Baja at at time when many thought the Mexican State an ideal acquisition for the United States. Browne exposes the reality of the peninsula to the American Public.
